The liberal press is dying and are grasping at anything to reassert their control over the news spin. It’s fruitless. They are just damaging their credibility even more rapidly.
Liberals are on the losing end of the political arguments. Rather than reassess, repackage, and actually come into line with the mainstream of the citizenry, they continue on a seek and destroy mission against conservatives. Any current tragic event is twisted and painted with the same broad brush - conservative rhetoric caused the event. Used to be that Bush caused it, but he’s out of the picture now and “conservative rhetoric” is the new meme. This strategy only steels the spines of conservative voices.
Unjust persecution always produces the opposite effect than the one desired.
Andrew Breitbart:
“The call for toning down the ‘heated political rhetoric’ is a convenient scheme by the permanently intemperate and propaganda dependent political left,” Mr. Breitbart said in an email to Washington Wire. “Once this heinous and uncivil strategy of blaming Sarah Palin and the Tea Party for Jared Loughner’s act imploded, there were not only no apologies from drawing these false conclusions, the perpetrators outrageously doubled down on a more generic yet equally cynical strategy to stop heated political rhetoric.”
Wouldn't they then be Republicans?
